US Virgin Islands judge requires a driving ban after a cannabis plea

A judge ruled that a cannabis-possession plea required a two-year driving ban even when an eligible first offender received probation without a conviction. Lee J. Rohn challenged the ruling after cannabis was found in her luggage at St. Croix’s airport; the Supreme Court reversed it the following year.[1][2]
